{"title":"Learning experiences of medical and pharmacy students at a student-run clinic in south africa and the development of a framework for learning.","authors":"Deanne Johnston,&nbsp;Patricia McInerney,&nbsp;Shirra Moch","doi":"10.4103/efh.EfH_281_18","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/efh.EfH_281_18","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>Trinity Health Services (THS) is a free clinic that serves the homeless community of Braamfontein. The clinic is run by pharmacy and medical students registered in the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of the Witwatersrand, assisted by academic staff. This setting provided an ideal space to document the interprofessional experiences between these two groups of students outside of formal lectures or clinical exposures. Therefore, the research question for this study was: What are the learning experiences of medical and pharmacy students working at an inner-city student-driven clinic?</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A convenience sampling method was employed. All students, who volunteered at the clinic on one or more occasion, were invited to participate in a discipline-specific focus group discussion (FGD). Four FGDs were held with between six and eight participants in each. The FGDs were facilitated by a faculty member not involved with the clinic.

Patient care is placed at the core of the framework, and recognizing that learning occurs through serving, three learning outcomes were identified, namely health and homelessness; communication; clinical and communication skills as well as primary health care. Learning was facilitated through interactions with peers, supervisors, and interprofessional relationships.</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>The authentic learning experience led to development of accountability, communication, and responsibility.

This can affect the likelihood that they will apply population and public health principles in practice.</p><p><strong>Activities: </strong>From 2010 to 2015, the faculty of Medicine at Fundacion Universitaria San Martin from Sabaneta Campus - Colombia, developed an educational strategy called \"Community Health Intervention Projects\" (CHIP) as a new way to integrate essential public health functions with clinical knowledge into the curriculum. This approach was based on Community-Based Medical Education (COME) and Community-Oriented Primary Care. Seven CHIPS were developed by 65 undergraduate students partnering with organizations as two secondary schools, one clinic, two community-based groups, one nongovernmental organization, and two secretaries of health in four different cities.</p><p><strong>Outcomes: </strong>The breastfeeding programs increased the time of breastfeeding by the mothers and the tools to measure breastfeeding have been used in other research projects (Medellin 2015, Envigado 2017).

The project about Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery Health-care Program, addressed to children with asthma, were adopted by the Ambulatory Clinics Organization after the results of the pilot program (2016-2017).
